Abstract

The present application provides a display panel and a display device. the display panel includes a display region and a light-transmitting display region. The display region includes a first pixel unit. The light-transmitting display region includes a second pixel unit. The second pixel unit includes a first subpixel, a second subpixel, and a third subpixel. At least one subpixel of the first subpixel, the second subpixel, and the third subpixel includes at least two light-emitting layers connected in series. The display panel and the display device provided by the present application can increase a lifespan of the subpixel in the light-transmitting display region and reduce a power consumption of the display panel and the display device.
